Geographic Revenue Split

The company has a global presence across 4 continents and 100+ countries. Recent margin improvements were driven by a higher mix of orders from the US and Europe, though US government tariffs have created headwinds.

Profitability Margins

H1 FY26 PAT improved to INR 14 Cr from a loss of INR 62 Cr in H1 FY25. PAT margin for FY25 was -3% post-demerger. Operating margins are expected to recover toward the 15-17% range as capacity utilization improves.

EBITDA Margin

Q2 FY26 EBITDA margin stood at 13.6% (INR 141 Cr), a significant improvement from 11.1% (INR 119 Cr) in Q2 FY25. H1 FY26 EBITDA grew 46% YoY to INR 281 Cr.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Optical Fiber (OF) and raw materials for Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) manufacturing. Specific material names and percentages are not disclosed, but a spike in raw material costs was cited as a margin drag in FY25.

Capacity Expansion

Sizeable manufacturing capacities across 4 continents. Current utilization is low, but margins are expected to improve as utilization increases to meet demand from US and India projects.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs and higher channel inventory in North America materially lowered FY25 margins to 10.4% compared to the historical average of 20.5%.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Capacity utilization is currently a key monitorable; under-absorption of fixed costs due to low utilization has previously constrained profitability.
